Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation to ensure safe and optimal performance of your heat pump.
2. Safety Information
- Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance or installation work.
- Ensure the heat pump is installed on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation.
- Do not operate the heat pump if any part is damaged or if the power cord is frayed.
- Keep children and pets away from the unit during operation.
- Only qualified personnel should perform repairs.
- Ensure proper grounding of the electrical connection.
3. Setup and Installation
The Steinbach Mini Heat Pump is designed for quick and easy installation. It should be installed after the filter system and before any chemical dosing units.
3.1 Unpacking and Placement
Carefully remove the heat pump from its packaging. Place the unit on a firm, level surface near your pool, ensuring sufficient space around it for air circulation (at least 50 cm clearance on all sides, especially the fan outlet).

3.2 Water Connections
Connect the heat pump to your pool's filtration system using 32/38 mm diameter hoses. Water flows from the filter, through the heat pump, and then back to the pool.

4.2 Initial Start-up
- Ensure all water connections are secure and leak-free.
- Turn on your pool's filtration pump to ensure water flow through the heat pump.
- Connect the heat pump to the power supply.
- Press the power button on the control panel to turn on the unit.
4.3 Setting Desired Temperature
- Press the 'Set' button to enter temperature adjustment mode.
- Use the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow buttons to select your desired water temperature.
- Press 'Set' again or wait a few seconds for the setting to be saved.
The heat pump will automatically start heating when the pool water temperature falls below the set temperature and stop when it reaches the desired level, provided there is sufficient water flow.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your Steinbach Mini Heat Pump.
5.1 Cleaning
- Periodically clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure the fan grille is free from debris (leaves, dirt) to maintain proper airflow.
5.2 Winterization
Before winter or prolonged periods of non-use, drain all water from the heat pump to prevent freezing damage. Disconnect hoses and store the unit in a dry, protected area.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Heat pump not turning on | No power supply; tripped circuit breaker; faulty wiring. | Check power connection; reset circuit breaker; consult an electrician. |
| No heating or insufficient heating | Insufficient water flow; incorrect temperature setting; ambient temperature too low. | Ensure filter pump is running and clean; adjust temperature setting; heat pump efficiency decreases in very cold weather. |
| Error code on display | Specific internal issue (e.g., flow sensor, temperature sensor). | Refer to the specific error code in the full manual or contact customer support. |
| Water leakage | Loose connections; damaged hoses or seals. | Tighten connections; inspect and replace damaged parts. |
